Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I thought that was Bakersfield?

A lot of folks consider anything North of the Grapevine NorCal. Our state is just to damn long

 

Installed SAW 2.5"s today, sqeaked all the way home, then removed sway bar. Do most run with out sway bar?

 

Party at your place?

 

you got fat tires? you should see these 305/60R17 i have

 

I don't have mine in. I know several other people who have taken theirs out also.

 

I think you're pretty much set with what you have right now. Once I get a rear bumper ill take a break and decide where I'm heading. Actually I may get headers and then stop.

 

That's what they all say dude

 

I need a bed rack to mount tools and a spare and I need new gears. I want a winch, TC 2.5 lt up front, 35's, lockers, longer rear shocks with a hoop...so much stuff

 

Thanks, drove it in to work today, seems like a little more body roll, but defintely drivable. Maybe it will articulate more off-road?

 

I feel totally better now, being refered to as belly button lint brightens my day...

 

Yea I know...I guess I mean take a break from modding

Forgot, I wanted a winch also. So rear bumper, winch and headers. After that ill take a break from modding the truck.

Yea it's nothing too crazy without the sway bar. The articulation really depends. I never noticed, but I had heavier springs than normal to compensate for a front bumper I didn't have on the truck yet.

 

Anyone heading to the 49er draft bash today? See ya there if so..

 

Maybe someone should plan that meet and come down to Fremont with the real ninjas

 

Looks like TC is coming out with a new, upgraded LCA for 05+ taco's. I think it's only for the stock length and not LT lca's though.

 

If I'm getting any replacement LCAs, ill be going LT. It's too pricey just for stock length.

 

The LSK's are $1199 and the TC's are $1599. There is a guy in so cal selling a stock used TC lca for 1080 or something.

If you buy the TC 2.5" kit you would still need their $500 extended axles as well as new long travel coilovers, right? Then a secondary shock as well. I tried to calculate what it would cost me and once the total went over $5000 I wiped away a tear and stopped looking into it.

 

I have spindle gussets and cam tab gussets (yes, you already told me they're a waste) and would get the coil gussets if I ever get the TC kit. The rear I don't think I'd ever have up to par since I really am trying to avoid turning my bed into a cage with shocks and spares mounted. I'd rather do what that guy in midtravel bs thread did and have the hoops and shocks tucked up high with only a small portion of the bed cut on each side. That I don't mind.

 

Blue dome light LED and white map light LEDs look pretty cool

Why the heck did Toyota make the map lights such a pain to replace though?
